WEEK ZERO: ARRIVAL

[retellers]

WEEK ZERO: ARRIVAL (43 remain) Whatever each character was doing—chatting with friends, going to bed, saving the world—ceases. In fact, it's likely nothing more than a groggy memory now, as they open their eyes to unfamiliar surroundings. Apparently, they took a nap right in the middle of a small town, plopped outside on the paved road. Ow? Oh, but it looks like they've been given a goodie bag. Everyone likes gifts, right? Inside, it contains: - a single random one of the following headbands and sparklers - packets of tea - one unlabeled pill - a rock that resembles the galaxy - if they're of age, a mini bottle of alcohol; if they're underage, a can of Mountain D*w Baja Blast instead - a singular condom - a single random one of these pillows (how did this fit?) - a handheld device Should they boot up the device, the screen helpfully informs them that it's a Participant Help System (PHS). Not much on it, but it does have a few apps, including a memo one for taking notes. There's also a messaging system, though it's only capable of receiving messages, not sending any. As a matter of fact, there's an alert for a new message already. Maybe it'll explain what's going on. Good evening, everyone. Uh, how are we sure they’re arriving in the evening? Just say “hello”! Or “greetings”! Greetings is fancy, right? Oh that’s true. Greetings, everyone. That’s better? Yes! Except maybe we take out the that’s better part in the final version. Will do! We’re sorry that we’re not here jklk oh no how do i erase what i wrote. Where is the question mark. Help press backspace. What is a backspace it’s written on the keyboard. Do you even know how to read? right now. There are a lot of things happening that’s so vague? Could we maybe TRY to not be ominous, guys??, It’s going to be ominous no matter what we say, so who cares so we need time to best prepare for you all. We will greet you properly soon, so please make yourselves at home! There are a lot of places to explore, and the kitchen has a lot of delicious food. Please don’t be shy, but also, don’t damage anything. It’s a little inconvenient. They’re going to do it just because you sound so fucking whiny. I’m sorry oh this is how you write somewhere else. Please do not fight or do. We don’t control your life choices. No please do not fight how do i make an exclamation mark maybe we should’ve gotten someone else to write the draft of the message? No offense. I’m sorry Sorry stop apologizing. No one else volunteered. Maybe we’ll luck out and none of them know how to read Thank you for your time! We’ll see you soon. Also, we promise you haven’t been kidnapped or anything! Oh dear. I don’t know if this is going to be edited, so if it isn’t, then I do apologize to the participants for our lack of organization. We’re doing our best! Probably. Er, what? Unfortunately, it seems as though that's the only info they're given for now. In the meantime, why not explore the surrounding area? A number of buildings are locked, and the Planetarium appears to be closed, but there's enough to keep the characters occupied for a day or two. They might even want to get to know their fellow "participants" better, while they're at it.

[ touches her chest like she was given a heart attack upon waking. m'am you've given her quite the frighten ]


Oooh- Where are we? I had the strangest dream.

[ flying saucer ice cream dates? ]

But I'm Usagi! It's nice to meet you!

[ even. if she's incredibly lost rn ]

[dawnblushed]

I don't know. I just... woke up here, on the ground.

[she wishes she knew!]

It's nice to meet you, too, Usagi. [...] What's the last thing you remember before waking up here?

[moondumplings]

Mm..... It was another school day-

[ and like. a traumatic incident she's blocked out at the moment but even if her expression goes a little strange, she smiles up at Yona ]

...nothing out of the normal.

[dawnblushed]

[...huh. that doesn't really help answer the question of how they ended up here...]

I wonder what happened, then. This place doesn't look familiar at all.

[moondumplings]

It's strange. I don't recall anything of the sort... I blinked and woke up here.

[ she's just A Little concerned about that. what happened to the others she was with??? did an enemy attack while she wasn't aware? ]

[dawnblushed]

It was a little like that for me, too. Only, I didn't blink, I was about to...

[her voice trails off, and she shakes her head.]

Fall asleep. [that doesn't explain the raspiness of her voice or her singed clothing but it's fine.] And then I woke up here.

[moondumplings]

[ her blinks a little. that sure is a strange sleep, yona-chan ]

Eh...... how weird. It's like we all had the same experience...

[dawnblushed]

Mhm. I wonder why.

[...]

Do you want to go look around together? Maybe we can figure out what happened.

[moondumplings]

[ past me, your grammar ]

But let's go explore! It'll be more fun together.

[ is this just an excuse to hold hands and run around the whole village? .......no, not at all ]

[dawnblushed]

Okay! ...oh, don't forget your bag.

[yona doesn't really understand half the stuff in their goodie bags but it might be important. so!! better not to let usagi forget it.]

[moondumplings]

Oh...!

[ her stuff. usagi checks the hearts are still on her head and her cat plushie is safely tucked back into the bag (HOW) before declaring herself ready ]

Yona-chan, did you get things as well?

[dawnblushed]

[she nods and lifts her goodie bag slightly]

I saw a lot of these scattered around when people were waking up. I think we all did.

[moondumplings]

Mm.... I'm glad. It's a nice way to be welcomed.

[ but with that being said and both of their goodies, let them be off! in pcs! ]
